iPad? They're calling it the iPad?

is working on a job description for front end developers

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 26, 2010 at 1:18:14 PM

@obiwankimberly impressive survey. We have a set of questions we ask on phone screens that aren't as detailed that still trip devs up.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 26, 2010 at 12:21:37 PM

just had another really bad interview with a potential developer. Where are all the good front end developers?

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 25, 2010 at 4:10:14 PM

@epersonae shouldn't be too hard to find him. According to one of your local radio stations, he's "still on the lamb". Just look for a lamb

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 25, 2010 at 2:27:34 PM

@maupuia so, have they? Inquiring minds want to know. :-)

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 24, 2010 at 12:16:23 PM

just tried to log on to my bank web site with Opera 10 and got a message to "upgrade" my browser. Feh. Wachovia, you suck.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 22, 2010 at 9:29:42 PM

@maupuia BTW, Linksys are likely to have alternate firmware available. Google "Linksys alternate firmware". DD-WRT is one that might work.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 22, 2010 at 9:26:44 PM

@maupuia some routers can be flashed with alternate firmware that has a setting to turn up the power. You can also get better antennas.

thinks maybe we need a constitutional amendment saying that corporations aren't people and can't give money to candidates

@mert nothing good

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 21, 2010 at 10:15:15 AM

@danrubin damn. They didn't have that yesterday when I bought one of their BassJumps.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 21, 2010 at 10:07:12 AM

is having a resume formatted in Comic Sans grounds for rejecting the candidate? I'm leaning toward "yes".

@effloresense not too bad. Bit of a gash in my forehead, bit of blood, nothing too serious. I'm watching out for any more serious sypmptoms.

Did Google just say they were changing their motto to "Don't Be Evil Any More"?

Do any of my standards-aware developer friends have experience with Documentum and Websphere? Any reason I should run away as fast as I can?

@mert the difference is that Apple doesn't sell unlocked iPhones, so there's no expectation you could get 3G on T-Mobile.

@mert planning to switch carriers?

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat January 5, 2010 at 3:47:11 PM

can't believe that Google would release an unlocked phone that can't access AT&T's 3G network.
